WHAT? I mean, you can't be serious!!!!! Are you not mocking the original "inspiration for the weekend" post? I mean, I like and encourage Mario's asking questions and such and apparently wanting to learn, but he displayed absolutely no substantial knowledge so far on any subject of tango to make him any sort of authority to pass judgment like "most instructors (usa) cannot dance the Milonga..this guy can."
It is not so much that Mario's judgment is right or wrong but that someone fairly new to the subject should not volunteer his or her opinions before paying the proper dues. There are those on this list who, with even less knowledge, can not discard the misjudgments and, in this respect, Mario is doing them a disfavor.
 
This whole Mario thing sounds like one big joke. Mario, please do continue to participate but resist the urge to pass general sort of judgements unless they are clearly just personal preferences to which you are certainly entitled.

P.S. I have communicated with Igor in private about that milonga clip and our views on it coincide. Since it was a private communication, it will remain so.
